One of Smaller’s classmates had a birthday party today, so this was prepping the card. She drew a little picture of a person with, I think, a magic wand, and then finished up with her signature. She’s been able to sign her name for ages now, but it’s finally starting to look like a signature rather than an abstract shape…. Read more »

There is still Halloween candy that we didn’t hand out on the day, so I’ve been having fun dipping into it. It’s always a point of bemusement that candy hearts are part of the Halloween assortments, but yanno… they go in the face the same, regardless of time of year. I was also delighted that all words on the hearts… Read more »

… that balances silk wool with a picture of a crown on it on her head. Yes, my wool arrived, and apparently this is how I felt was the best way to celebrate this. Well, and giving it pats and squeezes, obviously. I don’t know where I am going to put it in my sock making queue, but it is… Read more »

Due to the general age of this couch, Poison has worn the back of it down in strange and interesting ways. As of late, you can find her during the day with her head tucked behind one cushion in such a manner that she looks headless from pretty much any angle. As much as I am looking forward to the… Read more »

If there is one thing that we have in profusion, it’s soft toys. This is one of the ones we acquired by comparing meerkats, which the girls have taken to calling Baby News. I’m not sure what Baby News was doing downstairs, but I got asked to keep an eye on her while the girls were in school (and her… Read more »

Yeah, I was outside. Woo. *chuckles* Smalls had an appointment at the hospital to check her arches, so I had to pick up Smaller from school. She appreciated the novelty of it, and me. Eh. *chuckles* I got there and back, and got to the right place to pick her up, and the whole thing did make me smile. I… Read more »

It’s Remembrance Day, which means bye bye, poppies! I’m glad that I could contribute to the local colour by knitting a few, but it’s nice to have it done, and to be back to my ‘normal’ knitting. I’ve got the second sock and another thing on the go, so it’s a matter of whether or not I work them at… Read more »

I finally got around to something I meant to do last weekend; I’ve got the stuff I made for the craft fair listed in my Etsy shop. So that’s good. It’s one thing off of my mind, and considering how foggy that’s been this past week, having things tangled up in it wasn’t exactly ideal. Now the one thing on… Read more »

I’m feeling slightly mushy in the head right now, but like, it’s been a productive day. My work focus was pretty decent, and I felt like I was making some actual headway. It was nice to end the week on a high note in that regard, since I had some pretty bad/unfocused days this week. I’m going a bit mushy… Read more »

Oh okay, I realise the picture doesn’t look particularly perky. That’s fair. I still have a raging headache that I can’t shift, but! I woke up feeling kind of rested, which is pretty awesome. It’s certainly made me feel productive today, in that I got a couple of little chores done atop work. I’ll be blasting it again with pain… Read more »
